All you have to do is solve for the speed at which the Lorentz contraction
is 10/12 so that the car is ten feet long in the garage frame.

I know that. What I don't know is which question you're allegedly
answering. AG
More important question; didn't you deny my claim that for a sufficient
velocity the car either fits or doesn't fit, as an objective fact that the
paradox seems to deny? AG
If I was thinking clearly I did. An objective fact is not reference frame
dependent.

Obviously, you guys can only speak in riddles,
If you would ever solve one the riddles you might learn something. Telling
you answer just leads to your saying you're not convinced and around it
goes.
so I have to assume you can't answer the underlying question;
Or you might assume you just too dumb or stubborn to learn the answer.
Brent
You have no answer, just some plots pretending to be an answer. Just
riddles upon riddles. AG
Why I don't believe the gurus here have the answer; you'll note how easy it
is to pose the question, and how easy it is to offer a proposed solution;
namely, the disagreement about simultaneity. But that's obviously not
enough. As Quentin's behavior exemplifies; the mere statement of the
solution is hardly sufficient. One then needs an ARGUMENT connecting the
alleged solution, to the construction of the problem; that is, the paradox.
But Quentin is totally UNAWARE of this requirement, which his link fails to
provide, and then he's perfectly satisfied with accusing me as a troll.
You, Brent, allege the solution in your plots, which I admit I fail to see
the connecting argument just alluded to. But if you really understood the
solution, and pride yourself in your teaching skills of relativity, you
could offer a text solution, which should be a relatively short paragraph.
But that remains wanting. AG
